<p>You go from Revit model to a defensible estimate in minutes, and the number keeps up when your design changes.</p> <p>Here is the core workflow:</p> <ol><li><strong>Export your model from Revit.</strong> BidLight lives inside Revit, so you start from the project you already have open.</li></ol> <ol><li><strong>Let the AI read your geometry and metadata.</strong> Two AI models classify your BOQ line items, so you are not building a takeoff by hand.</li></ol> <ol><li><strong>Get current pricing pulled in automatically.</strong> Costs come from a roughly $30,000 pricing database plus Craftsman, 1Build, and RSMeans, covering labor, equipment, material, and time.</li></ol> <ol><li><strong>Review the estimate.</strong> You see the breakdown across labor, equipment, material, and time, with line items classified at 86% accuracy so you can check the numbers behind your bid.</li></ol> <ol><li><strong>Track and adjust as the design moves.</strong> When the model changes, the estimate updates in real time, so you stop chasing scattered updates and redoing takeoffs.</li></ol> <ol><li><strong>Download your estimate</strong> and use it to back the price you put in front of a client.</li></ol> <p>The whole point is speed you can defend. You spend minutes instead of days, and you walk into the bid with numbers you can stand behind.</p>
